1:1 As per common practice, we use ‘God’ through the Hebrew scriptures for the word ‘elohim’. Note that ‘elohim’ is a Hebrew language plural, and is translated more literally as ‘gods’ in a few places. However the connected Hebrew verb translated ‘created’ here is clearly a singular form, so the singular noun ‘God’ fits better here and everywhere where ‘elohim’ is used with other verbs marked as being singular. The mysterious plurality of God is confirmed in v26 where ‘our’ is used to refer to him/them.

Gen 1:2:

2 The earth was formless and empty and darkness covered the surface of the deep waters and God’s spirit was hovering over the waters’ surface.

Exo 14:21-29:

21 Then Mosheh stretched his arm out over the sea and Yahweh sent a strong east wind. It blew all night and divided the sea on each side and dried the strip of land in the middle. 22 So then the Israelis entered through the middle of the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on each side of them.[ref] 23 However, the Mitsrim pursued after them. Every one of Par’oh’s horses and chariots and his horsemen also entered into the middle of the sea. 24 By now morning was coming and Yahweh looked down through the pillar of fire and cloud, and he caused confusion for the Mitsri army. 25 He caused the wheels of their chariots to turn unevenly so they became difficult to drive, and the Mitsrim complained, “Let’s retreat from following the Israelis, because Yahweh is fighting against Mitsrayim (Egypt) and for them.”

26 On the other side, Yahweh told Mosheh, “Stretch your arm out over the sea and the waters will flow back onto the Mitsrim and onto Par’oh’s chariots and his horsemen.” 27 So Mosheh stretched his arm out over the sea, and as the day broke, the sea began to return to its normal place. The Mitsrim turned and fled before its impact but Yahweh shook the Mitsrim off their horses and chariots in the middle of the sea. 28 So the sea returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen—even Par’oh’s entire army that had entered into the sea after the Israelis. Not even one of the pursuers remained. 29 But the Israelis had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on each side of them.
